Glucagon is a medication and hormone.[4] As a medication it is used to treat low blood sugar, beta blocker overdose, calcium channel blocker overdose, and those with anaphylaxis who do not improve with epinephrine.[2] It is given by injection into a vein, muscle, or under the skin.[2] A version given in the nose is also available.[6]

Common side effects include vomiting.[2] Other side effects include low blood potassium and low blood pressure.[4] It is not recommended in people who have a pheochromocytoma or insulinoma.[2] Use in pregnancy has not be found to be harmful to the baby.[7] Glucagon is in the glycogenolytic family of medications.[2] It works by causing the liver to break down glycogen into glucose.[2]

Glucagon was approved for medical use in the United States in 1960.[2] It is on the World Health Organization's List of Essential Medicines.[8] The wholesale cost in the developing world is about US$25.75 a dose.[9] In the United Kingdom that dose costs the NHS about £11.52.[4] In the United States the wholesale cost of a dose is US$247.32.[10] It is a manufactured form of the glucagon hormone.[2]
